A long list of master cocktail creators, including Leo DeGroff, Philip Raimondo and Michael Martensen, will be in New Orleans that week to teach the BarSmarts course, a training and certification program sponsored by Pernod Ricard. They’ve agreed to give the public a taste of their mixing skills at the museum’s annual fundraiser.

Local bartenders include Chris Hannah of Arnaud’s French 75, Lu Brow of Cafe Adelaide and Rhiannon Enlil of Cure.

All proceeds benefit the museum and its monthly lecture series. Tickets are $50 in advance and $55 at the door. The Museum of the American Cocktail (1 Poydras St.) is located inside the Julia Street entrance of the Riverwalk mall. For more information, visit www.museumoftheamericancocktail.org.
